[EMERALD]

[dramatispersonae]

[YOU’RE ON A BOAT. An ship frozen fast in the ice, that is -- you’re not sailing anywhere anytime soon, and it’s quite cold. You can climb about it, but everything on it is dripping icicles and slick with frost, so you’ll have to be careful. If you decide to go check what the ship’s name is, you’ll realize it’s your team name. If you try and leave the ship, you simply find yourself right back on it.

You appear to be alone on a broad, flat plain of ice.]

[There's a square pool in the deck. Shards of ice -- some with carved letters and numbers frozen inside -- form a rough grid.]

(frozen comment) [RULES]

[dramatispersonae]

- Your character automatically knows the rules! We’re playing simplified speed Battleship.

- The game, ideally, consists of one thirty-minute round and twelve ten-minute rounds (though we’ll cut down if needed) with short breaks between each round for gamerunners to update your maps etc. Please try your best not to go over time so the game can proceed briskly!

- You have thirty minutes for Round One, and two objectives. First, decide your ships’ locations on the grid. You have seven ships in total:

THREE ONE-POINT SHIPS - take up one space each on the grid

THREE TWO-POINT SHIPS - take up two adjacent spaces on the grid

ONE THREE-POINT FLAGSHIP - the one you’re on; takes up three adjacent spaces on the grid

Second, choose a consequence for the losing team in your pairup -- note that you ICly know who you’re playing against -- and explain why you chose it. The Snow Queen will not accept any answers that involve/lead to harming/maiming/killing the other team, or ‘nothing’ as an answer. Please keep in mind that this isn’t meant to be a trauma game!

- All following rounds are for attacking your opponent/trying to pinpoint their ships! Just choose the point on the map you’d like to attack -- A1, E3, etc. etc. etc. We'll tell you the results of your attack -- as well as the enemy's attack -- under the RESULTS comment. We will not be giving visual grid updates, but you can use the spreadsheet linked up above as a template to keep track of your own grid and your opponent's!

- There will be six winners total: the four highest-scoring teams, and two more according to Persona criteria.

[ROUND ONE]

[dramatispersonae]

[As soon as you choose your positions, you’ll see ghostly ships flicker into being relative to your flagship. They’ll flicker out of being just as rapidly when they’re hit . . . but the one you’re on might be a different story.]
